I believe that the Jos. C. Bullock listed in the
1840 census of Marshall Co. was my gg-gf (Josiah Crisp
Bullock). However, the name of this person has also
been read as John C. Bullock. Would there be any
Marshall Co. tax records or other types of records for
the 1840s that might confirm what the name of this
Jos./Jno. Bullock was? If so, where would I obtain such
records? Also, does Marshall Co. have a genealogy
society? Members of the Crisp family were also present
in 1840 Marshall Co. Would you have any information on
them? Thanks, Ron Bullock (RBUL1865@aol.com)

I am trying to locate a Parnell or Pernel family
who lived in Potonoc near Dancing Rabbit Creek around

Looking for information on Andrew GOLDMAN who
married Cynthia SOSSAMAN in Pontotoc Co. MS in 1854.
Their children were William, Henry, L.E.(a daughter),
W.M.(Wiley?), A.M.(a son), and Andrew Jr. In 1860 they
were in Poinsett Co. AR. In 1880 in Yalobusha Co. MS.
Andrew Jr. married Annie STEWART ca 1896. We think she
was from Calhoun Co., so they were probably married in
either Calhoun, Yalobusha, or Tallahatchie Co. They
owned a general store. Andrew III was born in
Tallahatchie Co. in 1904. Any information would be
appreciated, especially on parents of Andrew Sr. It's
possible his father's name was Andrew also, but we
aren't sure.

I wanted to let you know some of the surnames I
research which are associated with Pontotoc Co., MS:
I'd also like to know if there are any old cemetery
records which might indicate where STUART POGUE is
buried. He died ca 1863 there in Pontotoc. I have
reason to believe he might have been buried in the
Samuel Vance Abernathy cemetery. Another researcher
told me several years ago that years back when she
checked on that cemetery there was a Pogue buried
there. She also said hunters had damaged the
gravestones by placing cans on top of them and using
them for target practice. RDP
